Fans can watch two and a half hours of pregame coverage, beginning with a special 90-minute ESPN FC preview show from the stadium at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, followed by a
one-hour pregame show beginning at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Coverage of the game itself begins at 8 p.m. ET with Ian Darke (play-by-play), Alejandro Moreno and Taylor Twellman (analysts) in the booth.

Bob Ley,
Kasey Keller, Alexi Lalas and Jorge Ramos will provide analysis before the game,
at halftime and afterwards from the on-site studio.

With more than 220 credentials issued to ESPN personnel working the game to provide programming and content to fans via a myriad of
platforms, the support marks the most comprehensive commitment by a U.S. media company for a single soccer match.

USA-MEXICO CLASSICS. ESPN
Classic will air on Tuesday, beginning at 9 a.m. ET, all three U.S. wins over Mexico in Columbus, all 2-0 victories in FIFA World Cup qualifying contests (Feb. 28, 2001; Sept. 4, 2005, and Feb. 11,
2009). The marathon will include the 0-0 tie at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca on March 26, 2013.

All this effort on the part of ESPN. All for only 500 people nationwide to watch this game. Soccer sucks, LOL! Why don't you losers watch some REAL sports like football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.

It'll be the most watched sporting event of the day, I'd bet. I'd wager it will have more viewers than any NHL game of the season.

As a young soccer player I coached responded when a high school football player asked why he didn't play a real sport, "I do: your momma!" What a fool you are! Millions will be watching this game in the US. Youblow must be very afraid how popular soccer is getting here. Continue being afraid. The revolution is happening!
